Isaiah 43:1-7 – Created with a Purpose
Key Verses: (NRSV)
- 1: “But now thus says the Lord: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” – We are important to God. He repairs what is broken. He calls us His own.
- 2: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” – Our lives are outlined in these verses beginning with our baptism, extending through our life’s rites of passage, and into times of testing and purification by God.
- 3: “For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” – Everything is possible simply because He is God – our God.
- 4-5: “Because you are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you… Do not fear, for I am with you.” – Verses to always remember, especially in times of difficulty, suffering, loneliness, or pain.
- 7: “Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” – God created us each with a purpose in mind…to glorify Him and praise Him in everything we do.
- Why did God create you?
Promises of the Gospel:
Today’s verses in Isaiah, though written for a people returning from years of exile, destruction, and despair, provide each of us with an outline and description of God’s love. He has created us, redeemed us, purified us, and protected us because we are precious in His sight… honored and loved. We are not to fear anything in life because He is always with us. Remembering our baptism and all that God has done in our lives calls us to fulfill the one purpose that He has created us for… to give God the Glory in all things that we do.
